Abstract
Previous macrolevel sociological analyses have yielded considerable empirical support for a model that hypothesizes a causal relation between pornography and rape. A particularly problematic issue is that these studies have depended on states as the units of analysis. In a similar analysis using Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, the pornography model was not supported.Keywords
